When Hell-Cat bands come to town, you can only expect the best show. Such was the case for the Slackers show.

Due to some cancellation by Virulent Strain, a band that I don't like at all,
Stockyard Stoics filled in. Stockyard Stoics started rocking with their songs
like "Babylon" among others. They had a solid set and got people to move
around.

When Dave Hillyard and the Rocksteady 7 play, you can expect some serious ass
shakin in the house. Such was so, as the Calypso Jazz/Ska/Rocksteady began to
rock the crowd and dazzle them every time someone did a solo. Rocksteady 7
finished off with a Skatalites classic "Eastern Standard Time" which got
everyone to dance their ass off to this legendary tune.

Next up was none other than King Django. King Django always manages to amaze
me. KJ played most of the stuff of the new album, it was great, but really
different. I guess it would sound different when there was no keyboards, or a
dj scratching or a horn here and there. Django; however, didn't need all
those things to get a great rock/reggae set going.

Leftover Crack's set started out promising, playing 2 Choking Victim songs,
but soon after their set went stale, I don't know why, I mean, I have seen
these guys before and they never had a bad set. I guess they were pissed
because this was supposed to be their record release party but instead,
thanks to Hell-Cat, it was a preview of the new record.

The main band Slackers, came out with a bang. They are one of the best ska
bands today, without a doubt. Slackers played a set which lasted for about 2
hours, and for those 2 hours the place was rockin, and dancin and singing
along to fine tunes, such as: "Have The Time," "Wasted Days," "Pedophilia"
and others.

The show was great and every single band on the bill was rockin. All was fun
and nobody went home disappointed. All in all, a great show. Peace!
